Clinical Trials for Gastritis & Gastropathy

The NIDDK conducts and supports clinical trials in many diseases and conditions, including digestive diseases. The trials look to find new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease and improve quality of life.

What are clinical trials for gastritis and gastropathy?

Clinical trials—and other types of clinical studies—are part of medical research and involve people like you. When you volunteer to take part in a clinical study, you help doctors and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future.

Researchers are studying many aspects of gastritis and gastropathy, such as

• differences among strains of H. pylori bacteria and which strains are more likely to cause stomach problems and stomach cancer
• strategies to prevent stomach cancer in people who have atrophic gastritis
• whether avoiding certain foods can improve a type of gastritis called eosinophilic gastritis

What clinical studies for gastritis and gastropathy are looking for participants?

You can find clinical studies on gastritis at www.ClinicalTrials.gov. In addition to searching for federally funded studies, you can expand or narrow your search to include clinical studies from industry, universities, and individuals; however, the National Institutes of Health does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe. Always talk with your health care provider before you participate in a clinical study.
